since World War II,the U.S. experienced multiple economic recessions, the majority of which began under Republican presidents.Notably, several of these downturns were followed by recoveries during Democratic administrations a pattern where Democratic presidents often turnaround struggling economies

#linkedin is the new #facebook I deleted (not deactivated my FB account a while ago) Now I want to do the same to LinkedIn. It’s become an endless stream of self of self promotion and egos. Let’s discuss…

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

Today, while the market collapsed and four soldiers who died on an exercise in Lithuania arrived at Dover, where was Donald Trump? Was he monitoring the markets? Was he there for the arrival of these heroes?
Nope: he was golfing, with the Saudis

My other piece of advice. Some of us look for the good in everyone and make time for everyone. I’ve learnt the hard way that not everyone is good, and time is finite so choose who, where and what you spend it on…

My advice for all. Turn off all the socials that you don’t need and re-program the algos that program your mental health. Spring clean your email subs that you don’t need. Try to focus only the things you can control. Free your mind. #mindfulness #dontsweatthesmallstuff

This is depressing but worth reading/understanding. We are living a land of confusion. Phil Collin’s was right.

Europe crushing RED STATES over Trump tariffs
Europe crushing RED STATES over Trump tariffs YouTube video by David Pakman Show

Europe targets RED States that voted for Trump. Europe is all in with the blue states (thanks, Mates!) and throwing RED States out with their tariffs. How do I say to #MAGA idiots, "I told you so," in French, Italian, etc? www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZN_...

35 years ago this week (this past Saturday) the Berlin Wall came down. Over the months and years that followed, tens of millions of people in Eastern Europe gained or regained freedoms.

Today we're seeing a march of authoritarianism around the world. I, for one, do not think it will last. (1/2)

@algreen.house.gov standing up for those who don’t have a voice to. I love this talk, but it’s sad to say that many of the #maga crowd who voted for the orange man will hurt the most from this www.reddit.com/r/interestin...

Thx to @ramez.bsky.social for this. Already the 2nd most unpopular #potus in history. 2nd only to his last term numbers. Unfortunately many of his voters lack the IQ to interpret data unless it’s via a TikTok meme.. #notmypresident

#starbucks have jumped the shark. I asked their "barissta" this morning how the push button machines handle the tamp pressure for ground beans, to which the response was "whats a tamp?" Starbucks lost their way, when they put automatic machines into their stores, imho #espresso

This mornings home schooling lesson! One of southern soul’s finest records! The solo debut from Ollie Nightingale, Sweet Surrender, originally released in 1973, is a Soul classic. This one is my special original mono analogue release from 1983.

This is 53. Age is just a chronological measure of time, not attitude. Embrace the wrinkles. Embrace the grey. Embrace the present, and respect (don’t dwell) in the past. #wisdom #ageisjustanumber
